Open-plan offices work best when people have the right mix of shared space and private space. A busy floor can be ideal for teamwork, quick conversations and flexible working, but it can also make private phone calls, focused tasks and confidential meetings harder than they need to be.
That is where used acoustic office pods can make a real difference. They create enclosed or semi-enclosed workspaces inside an existing office, giving teams a practical way to add privacy without committing to permanent building works. For many businesses, a used or refurbished pod is a cost-effective way to improve the office quickly while still buying a premium product from a respected manufacturer.
At The Office Chair Man, we specialise in high-quality used and refurbished office furniture, including office pods, office booths, acoustic workspaces, task chairs, desks, tables, storage and collaborative furniture. Our used office pods are ideal for businesses that need more space for calls, meetings and focus work, but want to control cost and make better use of existing office layouts.
Below, we compare some of the best used acoustic office pods currently worth considering, including options from Orangebox, Framery, Max Calma and Frem.
Did you know? Some used acoustic office pods include air circulation, lighting, power and data points, making them far more practical than a simple quiet booth.
A used acoustic office pod is a pre-owned enclosed or semi-enclosed workspace designed to give people more privacy inside a larger office. Depending on the design, it may be used for phone calls, video meetings, individual work, team discussions or confidential conversations.
Office pods are also known as:
The main purpose is simple: create a quieter, more private area within the office without having to build a permanent room. Some pods are designed for one person, while others can seat two or more people. Larger modular pods can feel more like small meeting rooms, while single-user pods are usually better suited to focus work, calls and video meetings.
A good used acoustic pod should be more than a box with a seat inside. Buyers should look carefully at features such as lighting, air circulation, internal workspace, power sockets, data points, seating, glass doors and overall dimensions. The best option depends on how the pod will be used day to day.
For example, a sales team may need individual call booths. A management team may need a private meeting pod. A hybrid team may need a two-person space for video conferencing. A design or finance team may need quieter spaces for concentration.
Because used and refurbished stock changes regularly, it is always important to check current availability, finish, condition and specifications before buying.
A permanent meeting room can be the right answer for some offices, but it is not always the most flexible or cost-effective option. Used acoustic office pods give businesses a practical alternative, especially where the aim is to add privacy quickly without major disruption.
The Office Chair Man’s site states that used office pods are thoroughly cleaned and refurbished before dispatch, helping businesses buy with more confidence. Our wider approach to used office furniture is built around quality, value and keeping good furniture in use for longer.
For offices adapting to hybrid work, acoustic pods are particularly useful. More people now spend time on Teams calls, Zoom meetings, webinars and confidential phone calls from the office. Without enough private spaces, those calls can disturb colleagues and make sensitive conversations harder to manage.
A used office pod allows a company to add dedicated quiet zones without changing the whole layout. It can support better concentration, more professional calls and a more balanced workplace.

The Orangebox Air3 25 Acoustic Office Pod is a strong choice for businesses that want a proper meeting-room feel inside a modular acoustic pod. It is well suited to consultation-style conversations, confidential discussions and small-group meetings.
The product page describes the Air3 as combining glass with soft acoustic panelling for acoustic insulation and speech privacy. That combination is useful in a busy office because it helps create a more enclosed space while still keeping a sense of openness through the glass.
Key details include:
This pod is a good option for businesses that need a more substantial acoustic space than a single-user booth. It could work well for management conversations, private consultations, client calls, interviews or internal meetings where privacy matters.
The opening roof air circulation system is also an important feature for offices where ventilation needs to be considered carefully. For companies that want a used acoustic pod with a premium look and a practical meeting layout, the Orangebox Air3 25 is one of the strongest options in this list.
The Orangebox Air3 27 Acoustic Office Pod with Opening Roof Air Circulation is another high-quality option from the Orangebox Air3 range. It is a larger premium pod designed for meetings, confidential calls and private discussions within the workplace.
At the time checked, the product page showed the Air3 27 at £10,800 including VAT, with 4 in stock. As with all used and refurbished office furniture, current stock and pricing should always be checked before purchase.
This pod is especially relevant for businesses that want a private meeting space without building a permanent room. It offers the benefit of an enclosed acoustic setting, while the opening roof air circulation helps support comfort during longer meetings.
Suitable uses include:
The Orangebox Air3 27 is best considered as a premium used meeting pod. It is likely to suit businesses that need a more formal enclosed space for important discussions, rather than just a quick phone booth or single-user focus space.
For offices where quiet meeting rooms are in short supply, a used Air3 27 can be a practical way to add a private room within the room.
The Framery Q Acoustic Two Person Privacy Workspace Pod is a compact and well-designed option for two-person meetings, one-to-one conversations and focused collaboration.
At the time checked, the Framery Q was listed at £8,900 including VAT, with 2 in stock. The product page describes it as having a fitted table, freestanding cushioned bench seats, automatic lighting, automatic air circulation and 30 dB acoustic noise reduction. It also states that it seats two people very comfortably and up to four people cosily.
This makes it particularly useful for offices where small meeting rooms are always being booked for short conversations. Instead of taking up a larger room for a quick catch-up, staff can use a two-person privacy workspace for focused discussion.
Key features include:
The Framery Q is a good all-rounder because it can be used for calls, meetings and quiet work. It is especially well suited to one-to-one meetings, coaching conversations, paired work, confidential calls and hybrid video meetings.
For many modern offices, this type of two-person acoustic pod offers the right balance between privacy and space efficiency.
The Max Calma Z2 Two Person Side by Side Acoustic Booth is designed for a more specific use case: two people working or conferencing side by side.
At the time checked, this product was shown as out of stock, so it should be treated as an example of the type of booth to watch for if similar stock becomes available again.
The product page describes the Max Calma Z2 as a side-by-side dual-user booth with a black shell, grey internal panels, Camira Blazer Blue upholstery, power, USB-A and USB-C. It is described as ideal for dual-user video conferencing.
Key details include:
This layout is useful when two colleagues need to join the same call, presentation, webinar or online meeting. Rather than sitting opposite one another, users sit side by side, which can be more practical for shared screens and video conferencing.
The Max Calma Z2 is best suited to dual-user video conferencing and paired call work. It is less of a traditional meeting pod and more of a focused booth for two people working together online.
The Frem Dimension Single User Acoustic Quiet Workspace in Pairs is a practical option for businesses that need more than one individual quiet workspace.
At the time checked, the pair was listed at £6,600 including VAT, with 3 pairs available. The product page states that these units are offered in pairs and cannot be used individually because they share a dividing wall.
This makes them especially useful for offices that want to create a bank of individual quiet spaces rather than buying a single booth.
Key features include:
These pods are ideal for focused individual work, private calls and tasks that require concentration. Because they are designed for solo working over longer periods, they are particularly relevant for people who need a quiet space to write, analyse, plan, review documents or take confidential calls.
For businesses fitting out a larger office, buying a pair of single-user pods can be more efficient than adding one isolated booth. It allows the company to create a clear quiet zone for staff who need privacy at different times of the day.
The Frem Dimension Single User Acoustic Quiet Workspace is a flexible option for solo calls and individual focus work.
At the time checked, the product page listed it at £3,900 including VAT, with 4 remaining. It can be used individually, back to back, or in banks of two, four or six inline, making it a scalable choice for offices that may need more quiet spaces over time.
Key details include:
This pod is especially suitable for offices where staff need somewhere to step away from the main floor for calls or concentration. Unlike a casual booth or breakout seat, it includes a proper work surface and enough space for a task chair.
The Frem Dimension Single User pod is one of the best options for individual focus work because it gives one person a dedicated enclosed space with the practical features needed for longer working sessions.
The best used acoustic office pod for calls depends on whether calls are usually taken by one person, two people or a small group.
For solo phone and video calls, the Frem Dimension Single User Acoustic Quiet Workspace is a strong choice. It provides a private single-user space with a work surface, power, data and charging point, air circulation and lighting.
For two people joining the same call, the Max Calma Z2 Two Person Side by Side Acoustic Booth is purpose-built for dual-user video conferencing. Its side-by-side format makes sense when two colleagues need to appear together on screen or share materials during an online meeting.
For private one-to-one calls, the Framery Q Acoustic Two Person Privacy Workspace Pod is a very practical option. It has a fitted table, cushioned bench seats, automatic lighting, automatic air circulation and 30 dB acoustic noise reduction.
For more formal or confidential calls, such as senior management calls or client discussions, the Orangebox Air3 25 and Orangebox Air3 27 provide a larger enclosed setting with a more meeting-room style feel.
When choosing a pod for calls, consider:
A good call pod should be easy to use, comfortable enough for the length of call and private enough for the type of conversation taking place.
Meeting pods need to provide more than basic privacy. They should feel comfortable, offer enough seating space and support the type of discussion taking place.
For larger private meetings, the Orangebox Air3 27 Acoustic Office Pod with Opening Roof Air Circulation is one of the strongest choices in this list. It offers a premium enclosed meeting space and is well suited to confidential calls, internal meetings and client conversations.
For consultation-style meetings, the Orangebox Air3 25 Acoustic Office Pod is also a strong option. Its combination of glass and soft acoustic panelling gives it a more substantial meeting-room feel than many smaller booths.
For two-person meetings, the Framery Q Acoustic Two Person Privacy Workspace Pod is a practical and space-efficient solution. It is ideal for one-to-one meetings, coaching conversations, private discussions and quick project catch-ups.
For paired video meetings, the Max Calma Z2 is the most specific option, thanks to its side-by-side layout and integrated power and charging points.
Common meeting uses for acoustic pods include:
The right meeting pod depends on the level of privacy required, the number of users, the available floor space and whether the pod will be used for short meetings or longer sessions.
Focus work usually needs a different kind of acoustic pod from a meeting pod. For individual concentration, the best choice is often a single-user workspace with a proper desk surface, power, lighting and air circulation.
The Frem Dimension Single User Acoustic Quiet Workspace is one of the best options for solo focus work. It is designed for one person, includes a white laminate work surface at standard desk height and has space for a task chair. It also includes power, data and charging, air circulation, LED light sensor and a glass door.
For businesses that want to create multiple individual focus spaces, the Frem Dimension Single User Acoustic Quiet Workspace in Pairs is a useful option. Because the units are sold as pairs and share a dividing wall, they are well suited to creating a small quiet working area within the office.
The Framery Q can also support quiet work, especially where two people need a private space for collaboration. However, for deep individual work, a dedicated single-user booth may be more practical.
Focus pods are useful for tasks such as:
A good focus pod should feel calm, practical and comfortable. It should not feel like a storage cupboard or a temporary escape from the office. The best single-user pods provide a proper work setting where someone can concentrate for a meaningful period.
Before buying a used acoustic office pod, it is worth gathering the practical details first. This helps make the enquiry process smoother and reduces the risk of choosing a pod that does not fit the space.
Measure the area where the pod will sit. Allow for the full width, depth and height of the pod, plus space around it for access, doors and airflow.
Make sure the pod can get into the building. Consider:
Decide whether the pod is mainly for:
Look for features such as:
Used and refurbished stock changes regularly. Confirm current stock levels, finishes, price, condition and delivery details before making a decision.
Several product pages include delivery and installation information, with delivery outside the stated radius quoted individually. It is worth confirming this early, especially for larger pods.
A little preparation at the start makes it much easier to choose the right pod and avoid surprises later.
